One of the weaknesses of interfaith dialogue in Indonesia is the lack of participation and space for women’s voices. Almost all spaces for interfaith dialogue are dominated by men, even though women have an important role in interfaith dialogue. Therefore, we should involve more women than men, not only because women are the most affected when religious conflicts occur but previous studies have also shown that women are most effective in peacebuilding negotiation based on non-violent strategies. This study investigates an interfaith movement, Cadar Garis Lucu, which veiled/niqab women initiated to counter the stigma that veiled/niqab women are radical-extremist and anti-other religions. Besides being active in promoting peace and interfaith dialogue, Cadar Garis Lucu also promotes the discourse of gender equality. By employing qualitative research and in-depth interview method as the primary data collection technique, this study found that Cadar Garis Lucu is an interfaith movement that aims to counter society’s negative stigma towards women – both veiled/niqab women and women in general – and seeks to bring women to participate in interfaith dialogue. Furthermore, this study argues that there is no better way to peacebuilding than to give space for women in interfaith dialogue.

“…Kekerasan tersebut bekerja melalui bahasa (Alfian, 2021). Kekuasaan simbolik adalah kekuasaan yang bekerja melalui simbol-simbol bahasa untuk menggiring mereka yang didominasi mengikuti makna yang diproduksi berdasarkan kepentingan yang mereka mendominasi (Alfian, 2022b) Untuk mengkaji lebih jauh dan secara mendalam mengenai kekerasan simbolik terhadap perempuan atau mahasiswi Sosiologi Agama di UIN Alauddin Makasssar maka perlu dilihat dari aspek lain seperti kekerasan simbolik terhadap perempuan dalam perspektif Islam.…”

Berangkat dari beberapa penelitian sebelumnya, mahasiswa Sosiologi Agama pada umumnya telah mengerti persoalan-persoalan gender. Namun, pada kenyataannya, mereka masih mengalami kekerasan simbolik di ranah kebahasaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan kekerasan simbolik, khususnya dalam ranah bahasa, yang dialami oleh perempuan atau mahasiswi Sosiologi Agama di UIN Alauddin Makassar. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan wawancara dan observasi sebagai metode pengumpulan data. Data-data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosiologis untuk mengurai dengan baik fonemana-fenomena yang terjadi di lapangan dan dari hasil wawancara. Lebih lanjut, penelitian ini menggunakan teori Pierre Bourdieu yang menjelaskan tentang kekerasan simbolik dalam suatu masyarakat. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa di kalangan mahasiswa Sosiologi Agama, UIN Alauddin Makassar, masih terjadi kekerasan simbolik terutama dalam aspek kebahasaan. Hasil penelitian ini menegaskan penemuan tersebut dengan menyajikan data-data tentang kekerasan simbolik, berupa bahasa atau kata-kata tertentu yang tabu dan tidak boleh diucapkan oleh perempuan, sedangkan laki-laki boleh.

“…These symbols are redefined in such a way that the regional identity conforms to "religious requirements" and becomes "harmless" (Jong & Lu, 2022). In other words, theological and cultural symbols are part of the religious symbols practiced by religious people (Alfian, 2022).…”

“…Political activities of religious organizations use strategic characteristics for political actors such as lobbying and mass mobilization (Potz, 2016). Politics as a politician is a social subject who tries to influence power relations in a political system to achieve their goals and these actors embrace a set of beliefs and doctrines, norms, and religious laws that motivate and guide them to behave from the point of view which is the ideology of the subject acting (Alfian, 2022;Potz, 2016). This strategy is usually used by Christians as a defensive strategy to politicize religious identity through political chords or religious leaders.…”

This study explores the history of one of the important symbols in the Christian tradition, namely the history of the fish symbol. This study argues that the fish symbol is one of the survival strategies for Christians to survive and contest with other groups in the socio-religious context at that time. Thus, this study formulates research questions such as how is the history of fish in the Christian tradition? How does the fish symbol become a medium of survival and resistance? Does the fish symbol have any relevance in the history of Christianity in Indonesia? This research uses literature study, which means relying on written literature discussing fish symbolism in Christianity's history. The results of this study indicate that the symbolization of fish in Christian history can not only be seen from the theological aspect but also from the socio-historical aspect as a survival strategy. Furthermore, the research material is structured with the following framework: the first part discusses the history and meaning of the fish symbol as a savior and unifier in ancient Christianity; the second part discusses the symbolic significance of fish as the spread of Christianity in Indonesia; the third part, symbolism as a strategy to survive both in the form of acculturation and religious-cultural identification in the context of religion and culture. In short, the symbolism of fish in the Christian tradition is very complex, containing theological content and historical-social-cultural. By understanding how symbolization works in religious traditions, we, therefore, can understand how religion in all its aspects developed from the past to the present, and also to the future.
